A West Midlands Report
This coming weekend will bring the curtain down on the BDO Inter County Championships season and Warwickshire will play their final premier division fixture at home at the Bishopsgate Club, Foleshill Road Coventry, CV1 4LF against bottom of the table Kent.
With a gap of 34 points between themselves and third placed Essex, Warwickshire will not be able to emulate last season’s third place finish but with what should be a big win this weekend they will finish in a very creditable mid to top half of the table.
Selected to play in the last game are, Men’s ‘A’:- Bob Nixon, Dean Stewart, Richard Foster, Jamie Atkins, Jamie Hughes, Nigel Heydon, Mark Strong, Mark Westgarth, Noel Grant, Rob Hawker, Tom Aldridge, William Naylor, Men’s ‘B’:- Antony Allen, Carl Green, Dave Harris, Jimmy Hill, Red Evetts, Matt Edgar, Michael Spencer, Paul Deslandes, Prakash Jiwa, Simon Power, Steve Ward, Tom McGlone, , Reserves:- Dan Green, Dane Vickers, Dave Atkins, Kevin Dowling, Mark Archer, Mark Carter, Steve Hine, Women’s ‘A’:- Trina Gulliver, Angela Jones, Denise Keyte, Melanie Hill, Sue Gulliver, Wendy Adams, Women’s ‘B’:- Lisa Whitmore, Lucy Keyte, Kat Spanswick, Kerry Bambridge, Kirsty Haw, Nina Bolt, Reserves:- Donna Pinch, Caroline Pike, Marian Conway, Sue Sandher.

In division two of the BDO Inter County Championships West Midlands will travel to the capital to take on high riding and second in the promotional table London who are 14 points ahead of West Midlands who are in fifth place, so promotion for West Midlands is not actually impossible but very improbable as they would have to chalk up a big win over London plus Sussex and Berkshire would have to lose.

So close was the premier division title in the Sheldon and District Winter League that The Lyndon actually won the title with the very last leg of the very last game of the season. Playing away to Langley Hall Sports and Social Arrows who are in the bottom four of the table, Lyndon won the tie 5-4 to give them 36 points two more than runners up Crown at Olton who won their home tie with George V 6-3 to finish with a far superior average than Lyndon, but it’s points that count.
The division one title could not have been any closer as a 6-3 win over Highwood KB’s gave Castle Vale Stadium the title with 30 points, the same number by which Banbury Club took the runners up prize after their similar 6-3 win against Marston Green Tavern.
In division two an 8-1 win at Ridgemere Social gave Crown-Forget-Me-Not 36 points and the title, the biggest battle was for the runners up spot which was won by Sheldon Marlborough Flights, their 6-3 win at Shirley RBL Misfits seeing them finish on the same 32 points as Maggies, who had a closer 5-4 win over Langley Hall Sports and Social Flights but Marlborough had the better average.
